Administration of large doses of vitamin D2 brought about a marked increase of 25-hydroxyvitamin D in both the patients with vitamin D dependency and hypophosphatemic vitamin D-resistant rickets. During the administration of vitamin D2, increment of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D was marked in hypophosphatemic vitamin D-resistant rickets, but far smaller in ...

Vitamin D and Vitamin D Analogs in Cancer Treatment

Current Drug Targets, 2002
The secosteroid hormone 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25-(OH)2D3) is a key player in the regulation of bone mineralization and calcium homeostasis. In addition, 1,25-(OH)2D3 has antiproliferative and prodifferentiation effects on various cells in vitro and in vivo.
